If you played Fading Echo back in alpha: welcome home. 💧 Same core idea (save the world by aggressively splashing things). New slice of the game. More stuff to melt.
WELCOME (BACK) TO THE VOLCANO SOURCE 🌋
We’re turning up the heat with a demo set in the first Volcano Source.
Deep in the heart of an ancient forge, One is chasing the first Ætheric source through the remains of a long-forgotten civilization.
You might uncover something about your new powers.
You might just have a really good time turning problems into puddles. Both outcomes are valid.
REACT. IMPROVISE. SURVIVE. 💧
Water, lava, toxic waste, if it flows, it fights.
Use surrounding fluids to burn, solidify, and weaken enemies.
Chain reactions into elemental combos.
Finish it up with stylish hand-to-hand attacks. Creativity isn’t a bonus. It’s the plan.
THEY’RE NOT JUST NPCs, THEY’RE FAMILY 👩👧👦
Meet:
Rahne, your mother (yes, really).
Vellum, your aetheric spiritual guide (also really).
Trusted sidekicks for your extremely normal mission to save your homeworld from impending destruction. You know. The usual.
WE NEED YOUR BRAIN (FEEDBACK) 🧠
If you play, we’d especially love thoughts on:
Combat feel + readability of elemental reactions
Controls and pacing through the Volcano Source
Clarity of puzzles/objectives
Performance/bugs (anything weird is gold)
KNOW ISSUES ⚠️
🎮 Gameplay / Controls
Controller recommended. Keyboard and input rebinding are available.
Skip prompt stays on screen. If you skip a cutscene, the “skip” prompt may remain visible every time you dash.
Possible softlock in the Bastion after skipping cutscenes. If you skip a cutscene, you may end up stuck in the Bastion (doors don’t open). Restarting the game may not fix it. Workaround: If it happens, the only workaround is to start a new save. How to avoid: Don’t skip cutscenes, or rebind “Skip” to a different button than Dash.
⚙️ Options / Resolution
Resolution can become unusable if set too high. If you set a resolution higher than your monitor supports, the game will save it and the image may be cut off, making it hard to revert (mouse cursor position may not match what you see).
💬 Input Display / Naming
Wrong button shown for Cannonball on controller. It displays “Q” instead of “LT”.
Some actions are misnamed in Options:
“Vault Kick” is shown as “Push Attack”
“Cannonball” is shown as “Water Bomb”
⚡Crash
Crash on quit. Sometimes the game crashes when quitting.
🩹 Softlock Recovery Tip
If you get stuck, quit to desktop, relaunch the game, then press Continue — you should respawn at your last checkpoint.
WISHLIST (OPTIONAL, BUT HUGE)
If you’re feeling generous, a wishlist helps a ton. Feedback helps even more right now.
Thank you for being there early. Seriously. Can’t wait to hear what you think.
